All versions of MB STUDIO and MB RECASTER have an internal server that allows you to stream audio over the internet or local network without using an external server. Since external streaming servers are usually paid, this allows for economic savings, however, to ensure trouble-free listening there are minimum requirements and limitations to consider:
It is necessary to have an internet connection with STATIC IP. If you do not have a STATIC IP, you can also use a DYNAMIC IP as long as it is PUBLIC. In this case, a virtual domain must be used (for example no-ip.com).
MB STUDIO displays the waveform of the object that is currently playing on the main screen. For reasons of efficiency, audio files with a duration of less than 6 seconds or greater than 2 hours are excluded from the display. You can click anywhere on the wave to move the playback position. If present, the INTRO, REFRAIN and OUTRO labels are displayed. By clicking on a label, playback jumps directly to INTRO, REFRAIN or OUTRO.
To avoid problems and slowdowns it is essential to add the MB STUDIO folder to the Windows antivirus exclusion list.
then click on "Add exclusion" and select the MB STUDIO folder which is usually C:\MBStudio.
There is no need to restart MB STUDIO or Windows.
The MAYA44 EX sound card manufactured by ESI is a very good internal sound card highly recommended for use with MB STUDIO. It has 2 outputs (for example from MB STUDIO master output + pre-listening output or we can use the MULTICHANNEL OPTION). It has 2 inputs, for example to repeat audio from a satellite receiver or from external sources.
